Audit Report on the Department of Education's Calculation of High School Graduation Rates (ME09-065A)
An audit report was filed on July 21, 2009 on the Department of Education's calculation of high school graduation rates. The audit determined whether the Department of Education (DOE) properly calculated high school graduation rates. It was determined that, despite its established system of internal quality control reviews, DOE needs to institute stronger controls to ensure that official records corroborate the classification of students as graduates. There were technical issues regarding transcripts and counting of credits, as well as discrepancies regarding drop out rates. Recommendations were made to rectify these issues.
